So I found an old mix CD I made in high school and popped it in.
WHERE THE HELL IS LIVE IN THESE MUSIC GAMES.
"Throwing Copper" would be fantastic album DLC. It's the kind of album that would sell huge with DLC. All the hits off that album! "I Alone", "Lightning Crashes", "All Over You", and so on. It was a HUGE album. My mix had "Lakini's Juice" off the Secret Samadhi album on it, and THAT would be a PERFECT rock band song.
That band has such a great catalog, and really needs to show up soon.

You're all missing Mental Jewelry, their best album, start to finish.
You know, everyone said that but I just didn't see it. I preferred Throwing Copper.
I'm on the same page with you. I think Throwing Copper was produced better and lyrically it blows Mental Jewlery out of the water (well...maybe not all of it). I thought Mental Jewelery had some great songs, but it was very...hippieish per say. Kind of like The Distance to Here; though that album did use the word "hooker" a lot.
(for the record, all of the country "pack" seems pretty fun on guitar after watching youtubes)
Yes, YES! Charting the banjo! Oh man I really hope they start getting more banjo songs to chart because it would be so much damn to play them even though some of them will be really hard to play.
Can you imagine Bela Fleck? I can!
EDIT: Haha, after actually listening to it that chart has you playing at least 3 instruments in the songs, the banjo, acoustic guitar, I think a steel guitar, and then even possibly an electric guitar for a part here and there.

Damn, after looking at the guitar charts and a couple of the drum charts, I don't think I'll regret letting my sister and brother-in-law talk me into downloading the whole country pack (my bro-in-law defines redneck).

Not to be mean to the guy playing, but that was a terrible run. The song looks fun, but some people might mistake it as impossible from the way he played.
Most likely picking some of these songs up since I'm looking for challenging and fun guitar tracks at the moment.

TC was definitely a better produced CD, but even with the hippie (or, as Ed Kowalczyk himself called it, Amish Rock) aspect, I think MJ is written better. Opinions and all, but I bought MJ after TC, and I loved it. I'm never good at interpreting lyrics, but seriously... wtf do the following things mean?
Oh Hitler in your robe of truth
My emptiness has built your altar
And I've worshipped myself in you forever
Until now
or...
The felix of your truth will always break it
And the iris of your eye will always shake it
And the armies, the armies I have created
Will always hate it, will always bait you on
Maybe I messed up a couple of words there, but really... I hate when lyrics are kinda just there. Which is why I hope to god that Bush is never in RB.
I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time

And when we rise it's like strawberry fields
Fuck you, Gavin Rossdale. Fuck you.

I've FC'd a lot of songs and gold starred probably close to a third of them. Is there an easy way to check if you've gold starred or do you just have to kind of remember?

The only real way to track gold stars is to play the song in world tour. They show up as singles across the various venues. Otherwise, you'll have to go by score cutoffs.

The game's score tracking is retarded so you have to remember, or use ScoreHero.

Sweet, just talked to AT&T and their doing an infrastructure upgrade in my area.
So in a little over a month I'll be having a shiny new fiber line installed at my house and will no longer be on this shitty ass low-end DSL connection. New connection won't cost any more than my current one and I'll have up to 6 Mbps dedicated, I'll finally be able to carry on a legitimate conversation over Live, download shit without planning ahead or waiting all day, and I can actually put Netflix to good use with the NXE.
I've been watching the Country Pack download for the last 15 minutes, and it's up to a whopping 23%. January 26th can't come soon enough.

Then in a word: No. A combination of the above advice works, but the most reliable way is to manually track it and that just sucks. I thought RB1 was bad for not giving me any feedback as to how close I was to getting Gold Stars so that I'd know how much I needed to improve...
Of course, now it doesn't help that no matter how good I currently am, I know I still need to get about forty million more points to rank toward the top of the leaderboards...
So, before I go buying a ton of songs... let's say I play a lot at my friends' house, or I play a lot with my wife even (who has her own Live account, as you have to to play multiplayer it seems).
When you play multiplayer with others, can you choose any of the songs that anyone among the players has? Or can you only use the songs from one specific player? Or are the downloads more system-specific rather than account-specific, so going over to my friends' house to play means that I rely on him having those songs no matter what?

It's system-specific, if I'm understanding you correctly. All of the players involved need to have individual access to DLC songs in order to play them online. So if you and your wife are on your 360 playing online with a friend on a second 360, then you need two copies of each song (one on each box). If someone in the group owns a song but someone else doesn't, it'll show up in the song selection menu but it'll be grayed out.
But, for example, if I'm playing on the SAME system with them, it goes by whatever's on that system? That'll work.
Correct. For local multiplayer, all the songs on that specific Xbox will be available. For internet multiplayer, only the songs that all X-boxes involved have will be available.
If you and your wife are playing local multi, anything you've downloaded will be playable.
If you are playing online, each individual xbox involved must have the song on it for it to be playable.
Heh, okay. The drums just clicked for me, but on occasion that damn kick drum throws me off. This is pretty awesome. Consistently snagging 4s on medium now.

As an aside, anyone playing with their wives or girlfriends should start every session by singing Charlene (I'm Right Behind You) to them. You've gotta start things off by setting the mood just right.
I've found that when people are starting to get frustrated when struggling on difficult songs, Charlene is the perfect palate cleanser.
On a totally unrelated note, wonder if we'll get any Christmas DLC this year. As in Christmas songs and stuff. Then again most attempts to create new Christmas songs result in crap.
I think we need Transiberian Orchestra's Christmas song. That might be kinda cool.

Alright, downloaded the Country Pack and tried out all the songs on guitar, and I must say, I'm pleasantly suprised.
All of them are downright fun as hell to play, and provide a great level of challenge without going overboard into Mike 'n Ike land (like a lot of the prog and metal DLC can). Sin Wagon is especially good fun. I was able to 5 star it on my first run and it's one of the few impossible tier DLC songs I can say that I'll be able to gold star with a little work.
Just for fun I also sang that song on Hard, and could hardly keep a straight face and had my family cracking up, given the fact that a 26 year old hirsute male was singing about being a beer-swilling trailer trash slut.
EDIT: I could totally go for some Trans-Siberian DLC. I'm a huge fan of Savatage (of which 2/3rds founded TSO) and TSO's work and it would be kick-ass. Although I would want Wizard of Winter for an instrumental, rather than the more recognized Sarajevo 12/24 (their revision of Carol of the Bells).

Heheh Savatage... there was a guy I used to work with who would always randomly spout out "The thorazine... shuffle..." and do this weird "look at me, I'm whacky" movement with it. I still haven't heard the song, but that always got a chuckle.

Ummm... Which one? If I'm not mistaken, that ALL that TSO does is Christmas songs! They've got a few amazing instrumental ones (you're probably thinking of "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12_24)", in fact). Most of the music they have that includes vocals though sounds like stuff being sung by Broadway musical performers - very dramatic and over the top, as opposed to very "metal" like the solos in ...Sarajevo...
